Introduction to Control Systems Security for the IT Professional

Wednesday 10 September : 9am - 5pm
Staff, The SANS Institute

This course is directed to those with IT Security responsibilities or background but have no previous experience in critical infrastructure control systems and their relationship to modern IT networks.

Four training sessions will guide attendees from basic definitions, components, and protocols to the major applications and architectures within critical infrastructure (CI) and key resources (KR). Control system network architectures, cyber threats and vulnerabilities, and mitigations will be presented. Current and emerging government and industry activities that are addressing the issue of risk reduction will be discussed.

I have 14 years experience in IT security, and SANS is by far the best technical security conferences I have attended.
